Radish
Nutrition Information:
Radishes contain small amounts of many nutrients. This includes Potassium, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Copper, and Sodium. Radishes are traditionally used in Ayurveda to treat fevers, sore throats, and inflammation.
Storage Tips:
Remove the leaves from the root and store them removed from the root, and store in a plastic bag in the fridge. Rinse before use. The greens are edible, cooked or raw, but they have scratchy hairs that aren’t so nice to eat raw. Pickling radishes is a good way to store them long term.
Uses:
Radishes are tasty raw, sliced and sprinkled with salt, grated into salads or used as a base for a salad, or eaten on toast with butter.
